A pathological liar is someone who compulsively tells lies, often without any clear motive or reason. They may lie about both big and small things, and their lies can be elaborate and difficult to detect. This behavior is usually a symptom of a deeper psychological issue, such as a personality disorder or low self-esteem. People who are pathological liars may struggle to maintain relationships and trust with others due to their constant deception.

Dr. Ernesto “Che” Guevara was not only a revolutionary figure — he was first a Medical Doctor. He trained to heal, but he chose to fight when he saw that sickness was rooted not only in the body, but in society itself — in poverty, injustice, and oppression. He believed that the true mission of a health professional is not just to treat symptoms, but to stand up for a world where people can live with dignity, care, and justice.

Today, you are walking in that spirit. As doctors, nurses, interns, residents, and midwives, you have dedicated your lives to the service of others. Yet you are forced to work in unsafe, unfair, and unsustainable conditions — underpaid, overworked, and undervalued. Your strike is not abandonment; it is a cry for justice. It is a call to make your voices heard, not just for your sake, but for the future of healthcare in Ethiopia.

Che once said, “The true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love.” Your struggle is rooted in that love — for your profession, for your patients, and for a better future. Stand firm. Stand together. This is not the end of your service — it is the highest form of it.

History will remember not just those who healed in silence, but those who fought so that others could heal in dignity.
